- the employee identification signal is emitted by the transmitter in response to a wireless activation signal.
- the activation signal is constantly emitted by a transmitter at the door of the washroom.
- the hygiene enhancing apparatus includes a secondary detector, for example, an infrared scanner or an ultasonic movement detector, and the activation signal is emitted only upon detection of a person by the secondary detector.
- a method and apparatus in accordance with the present invention operates to enhance hygiene at restaurants, hospitals and other institutions wherein cleanliness is especially vital.
- the system is easy to implement insofar as employees at those institutions or businesses generally universally wear name tags which can be provided with individualized transmitters.
- the energy supply units on the name tags may be recharged between successive work shifts by having the workers place their tags in a recharging device.
- the name tags can serve to track and record employee arrival and departure times.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system or apparatus in accordance with the present invention, for enhancing personal hygiene, particularly in institutional or business settings.
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart diagram showing successive steps in the operation of a control unit shown in FIG. 1.
- a system or apparatus for enhancing personal hygiene comprises a first subassembly 10 which is carried by an employee, for example, on a name tag or other supporting component.
- the system further comprises a second subassembly 12 disposed at least in part at the entrance to a washroom or other facility wherein a person can become contaminated, for example, by micro-organisms.
- a third subassembly 14 is located at least in part inside the washroom facility.
- the hygiene enhancing system also comprises a control unit 16 and other components to be described in detail hereinafter.
- the first and second subassemblies 10 and 12 cooperate with one another to detect the entry of a preselected individual (e.g., an employee of a restaurant or hospital or other business of institution) into the washroom facility.
- a preselected individual e.g., an employee of a restaurant or hospital or other business of institution
- the washroom facility is any facility wherein it is desirable that a person clean or sterilize his hands prior to leaving the facility.
- the third subassembly 14 serves to monitor employees who have entered the washroom to determine whether they have cleaned their hands while in the washroom.
- the subassemblies 10, 12, and 14 provide information to control unit 16 for enabling that unit to provide an alert or warning signal in the event that a pre-identified individual (e.g., an employee) leaves the washroom without having cleaned his hands while in the washroom.
- a pre-identified individual e.g., an employee
- Control unit 16 is connected at an output to an electro-acoustic transducer (e.g., a speaker) 18 for issuing an audible message to a person who is leaving the washroom.
- an electro-acoustic transducer e.g., a speaker
- control unit 16 In the event that an employee leaving the washroom has cleaned his hands, control unit 16 generates an electrical signal which is converted by transducer 18 into a message such as "Thank you for your cooperation in preserving sanitary conditions," or simply "Thank you for washing your hands.”
- control unit 16 activates transducer 18 to produce a warning or request that the employee return to the washroom to clean his hands.
- transducers may be included in the hygiene enhancing system to produce a signal either reminding an employee of his neglect or alerting supervisory personnel or other people of the possibly unsanitary condition of the employee's hands.
- the transducer may take any form capable of providing information such as an electro-optic device.
- Subassembly 10 includes a receiver 20 for receiving incoming wireless signals, preferably electromagnetic waveforms. Receiver 20 is connected at an output to a first frequency detector 22 in turn coupled to a generator 24 of a predetermined frequency assigned to the particular employee. Thus each employee is identifiable by a respective frequency. Frequency generator 24 is tied to a transmitter 28 which emits wirelessly the frequency produced by generator 24. Subassembly 10 may optionally include a second frequency detector 30 which is connected at an output to an electro-optic transducer 32 (e.g., a light emitting diode) and alternatively or additionally to an electro-acoustic transducer 34 (a speaker).
- an electro-optic transducer 32 e.g., a light emitting diode
- an electro-acoustic transducer 34 a speaker
- subassembly 10 are disposed on a name tag or other carrier which may, for example, be fastened to the clothing of the employee.
- a name tag is considered to be particularly suitable insofar as all employees of restaurants and hospitals, as well as other institutions requiring a certain modicum of cleanliness, are required to wear name tags or other identification badges.
- Subassembly 10 also includes a non-illustrated power source in the form of a battery.
- the battery may be charged between work shifts of the employee by leaving the name tag or carrier at a charging station.
- a charging station may also serve to identify or determine the arrival and departure times of the respective employees.
- Receiver 20 of subassembly 10 receives a first preestablished frequency from a transmitter 36 in subassembly 12.
- transmitter 36 transmits constantly at a low power level.
- the low power level serves to limit the effective range of transmitter 36 to a pre-established region around the entrance to the washroom facility.
- transmitter 36 is dormant unless energized or activated by an ultrasonic movement detector 38 which includes a generator (not illustrated) for producing ultrasonic pressure waves and a sensor (not illustrated) for detecting the ultrasonic pressure waves upon return of the waves from an object in the vicinity.
- an ultrasonic movement detector 38 which includes a generator (not illustrated) for producing ultrasonic pressure waves and a sensor (not illustrated) for detecting the ultrasonic pressure waves upon return of the waves from an object in the vicinity.
- an infrared radiation detector 40 may be provided to activate transmitter 36.
- transmitter 36 is dormant until a person enters the washroom facility. At that time, transmitter 36 emits the pre-established frequency which, if the person entering the washroom is an employee or other person equipped with subassembly 10, is picked up by receiver 20 and detected by frequency detector 22.
- frequency detector 22 Upon activation by frequency detector 22, frequency generator 24 produces the pre-established frequency assigned to the particular individual and emits that frequency over transmitter 28.
- An identification frequency emitted by transmitter 28 is picked up by a receiver 42 in subassembly 12 and relayed from the receiver to a frequency analyzer 44.
- Analyzer 44 converts an incoming analog signal into a digital signal indicative of the frequency of the incoming analog signal and accordingly indicative of the individual employee entering the washroom.
- Analyzer 44 has an output lead working into control unit 16 whereby that unit, operating in conjunction with a memory 46, is able to identify an individual who is entering the washroom facility.
- the same components of subassemblies 10 and 12 also function to inform control unit 16 of the identity of an individual who is leaving the washroom facility.
- Subassembly 14 includes a transmitter 50 which, like transmitter 36, wirelessly emits an activation signal of a predetermined frequency for activating any subassembly 10 which comes within the effective range of transmitter 50.
- Transmitter 50 is positioned proximately to a cleaning station inside the washroom facility. Such a cleaning station takes the form, for example, of a soap dispensing unit or a blow dryer.
- the activation signal or frequency emitted by transmitter 50 is picked up by receiver 20 and detected by frequency detector 22, which transmits an enabling signal to frequency generator 24 to induce the wireless emission of a signal via transmitter 28.
- the emitted signal is picked up by a receiver 52 in subassembly 14 and relayed thereby to a frequency analyzer 54.
- frequency analyzer 54 transmits to control unit 16 an output signal indicative of the identity of an employee or other monitored person at a cleaning station in the washroom.
- Subassembly 14 optionally includes a proximity detector 48, which may take the form of an infrared radiation detector or an ultrasonic movement detector.
- Proximity detector 48 is disposed at a hands cleaning device such as a soap dispenser (not shown), a blower (not shown) or a water valve (not shown) in the washroom facility for determining whether a person is in the neighborhood of the cleaning device.
- Proximity detector 48 is coupled at an output to transmitter 50 for enabling that unit to emit the wireless activation signal upon the detection of a human being at the monitored hands cleaning device.
- transmitter 50 is activated only upon receiving an enabling signal from a soap dispensing detector 60.
- Soap detector 60 is disposed at a soap dispenser (not shown) for transmitting an enabling signal to transmitter 50 in the event that the soap dispenser is operated to eject an aliquot of liquid or powdered soap.
- Soap dispensing detector 60 may be provided with a manually activated switch (not illustrated) and with a proximity detector of its own (e.g., detector 48) which together function to determine that a person has operated the soap dispenser to dispense an aliquot of liquid or powdered soap onto the person's hand or hands. Upon making such a determination, soap dispensing detector transmits an enabling signal to transmitter 50.
- a switching circuit 56 receives input signals from soap dispensing detector 60, as well as from a blower activation detector 62 and a water valve monitor 64, respectively.
- Blower activation detector 62 and water valve monitor 64 are operatively connected to a hot air blower (not shown) and a water valve (not illustrated), respectively, for transmitting respective enabling signals to switching circuit 56 in the event that the blower is being operated to dry an individual's hands or that the water valve is opened.
- Switching circuit 56 is operated to select among soap detector 60, blower activation detector 62 and water valve monitor 64, i.e., to alternatively connect soap detector 60, blower activation detector 62 and water valve monitor 64 to transmitter 50.
- Switching circuit 56 may optionally be provided with logic and timing circuitry for forwarding an enabling signal to transmitter 50 only upon receiving signals from soap detector 60, blower activation detector 62 and water valve monitor 64 in a predetermined sequence within a predetermined period of time.
- Proximity detector 48 may be operatively connected to soap detector 60, blower activation detector 62 and water valve monitor 64 or to switching circuit 56 for activating those components in response to the proximity of a human being.
- control unit 16 Upon receiving from frequency analyzer 54 a signal indicating that a pre-assigned individual has initiated or completed a hands cleaning procedure, control unit 16 changes a bit value in memory 46, as described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 2.
- Control unit 16 is optionally connected at an output to a transmitter 68 for emitting a preselected frequency or waveform in the event that one of the "tagged" employees exits the washroom facility without having washed his hands. That waveform is picked up by receiver 20 carried on the identification tag of the employee and detected by frequency detector 30. Upon detection of the waveform emitted by transmitter 68, detector 30 energizes electro-optic transducer 32 or electro-acoustic transducer 34, thereby alerting the employee and other people in the employee vicinity as to a possibly unsanitary condition of the employee's hands.
- Control unit 16 is also connected to a computer 70 which may serve in the performance of daily management activities. Control unit 16 sends to computer 70 signals regarding hands cleaning in the washroom facility. Computer 70 displays results of hygiene monitoring on a monitor 72.
- an operational sequence of control unit 16 includes first step 74 in which the control unit monitors or scans signals from frequency analyzer 44 to determine the presence of a signal indicating that a monitored individual ("tagged" employee) is entering or leaving the washroom facility.
- control unit 16 Upon determining at an inquiry 76 that a signal has arrived from frequency analyzer 44, control unit 16 identifies the employee in a step 78 and then checks in a step 79 a location in memory 46 assigned to that employee. If there is a bit at the assigned memory location signifying that the employee has been previously detected, i.e., has recently entered the washroom facility, as determined by control unit 16 at a decision junction 80, the control unit then checks in a step 82 a secondary memory location assigned to the same individual.
- control unit 16 determines at another decision junction 84 that the secondary memory location fails to contain a bit signifying that the identified employee has cleaned his hands, the control unit generates an alert or warning signal in a step 86.
- the alert or warning signal is transmitted to electro-acoustic transducer 18 for issuing a speech-synthesized or recorded message such as "You have apparently forgotten to clean your hands. Please return to the washroom at once.”
- the warning or alert signal activates transmitter 68 to emit a waveform picked up by receiver 20 and detected by frequency detector 30 which thereupon energizes electro-optic transducer 32 or electroacoustic transducer 34, as described hereinabove.
- control unit 16 may additionally send a signal to computer 70 indicating that the employee left the washroom facility without washing his hands and did not return to the washroom within a predetermined period of time, essentially immediately.
- control unit 16 After issuance of the alert or warning signal in step 86, control unit 16 erases the data bits at the primary and secondary locations in memory 46 assigned to the identified individual (step 88). Then control unit 16 returns to execute step 74.
- control unit 16 may issue a voice-synthesized or recorded message in a step 92 to extend appreciation to the employee for his care in remembering to clean his hands.
- the "thank you" message may be generated via electroacoustic transducer 18. After issuing the message, control unit 16 executes step 88 to erase the data bits at the primary and secondary locations in memory 46 assigned to the identified individual.
- control unit 16 determines that there is no prior detection of the identified individual, i.e., that the individual is entering the washroom facility, the control unit stores a bit at the primary memory location assigned to the identified individual (step 94). That bit describes the respective individual as being inside the washroom facility.
- control unit 16 After storing a bit in step 94, control unit 16 executes step 90 to monitor signals from frequency analyzer 54 to determine whether any employees remaining in the washroom facility are washing their hands. This step is also executed by control unit 16 upon a determination by the control unit at inquiry 76 that no employee is either entering or leaving the washroom.
- control unit 16 If control unit 16 discovers at an inquiry 96 that an employee is cleaning his hands, the control unit determines in a step 98 the identity of the employee and then stores in a step 100 a bit in the secondary memory location assigned to that employee. At that juncture, control unit 16 returns to initial step 74 to again scan the signals from frequency analyzer 44.
- the scanning of employees in a washroom facility may be extended to include scanning of non-employed persons such as customers at a restaurant and visitors and patients in a hospital.
- the hygiene enhancing system may function in essentially the same way as discussed above.
- the principles of the invention may also be used to monitor individuals who are identified and tracked continuously by computer. Thus, movements of an individual who has entered a washroom type facility are monitored to determine when that individual is leaving the washroom facility and whether that individual has washed his or her hands prior to exit.
- the system may use any of numerous indicators to keep track of different people in the facility.
